How They Keep Their Shimmer

With so many of their facades made of glass and steel, someone has got to get up there to help those high rise buildings in yesterday's photo keep their shimmer. This is one job you will not find me applying for! I spotted these pros suspended high on the west face of WaMu Center, which I showed you awhile back, here, and which you can spot as the silvery building to the right in yesterday's photo, between the glass domed building shaped like R2D2 and the dark angular one dubbed "Darth Vader"by locals. Hope you are having a great start to the work week!

Hi Kim! Thanks for the nod. I really appreciate it. I'm just getting started and need all the encouragement I can get!This photo is great, for two reasons. First, the composition and presentation and second because of the comments on a similar posting on The Daily New Orleans Photo a couple of says ago. Yours is the other side of the coin.

Hi Kim, That's cute R2D2 and Darth Vader, they must be building C3PO with all those cranes we can see! And thanks for visiting me in San Diego and I hope you had a great trip here...well you did have street tacos so that sounds like you had a great trip!

I'm really happy to be able to see the awesome pictures from Seatle you have been posting! Those buildings look fantastic all together!!! Great shots, Kim!Thank you so much for your nice comment on my blog. Although I'm new to the site, it has been a pleasure 'being part of the game'.Greetings from Oeiras.

Seattle has so many cool buildings. It was fun being in Seattle yesterday. I spent a lot of time downtown as a teen-ager. We were going to eat at the waterfront but it was way too full of people. We were going to go to Ivar's but ended up at the British Pantry in Redmond. Fun! MB

Hi guys,Proposed date for the Pacific Northwest CDPB's get together was Saturday afternoon September 20, with a picnic and photowalk, 2-5 at Myrtle Edwards Park (near the Olympic Sculpture Garden & waterfront, etc. People who wish to could tag on dinner together that evening at an inexpensive nearby restaurant. Let us know your thoughts and we will finalize plans and send out word.-Kim

Excellent! I too would not apply for that job. I have even thought at the figure that would actually be needed to get me up there. I don't think there is one. But I can imagine the view would be wonderful.You know, I work on the 45th floor of a building in Times Square. Sometimes you see a face watching you from the other side of the window. It's always a bit of a shock...
